CLAIMS DEFEAT WAS DUE TOTREACHERY Senator Bacon Sore Over Outcome of. Vote for Presi- j dent Pro Tempore. WORK OF CAUCUS ENDS Republicans Trying to In duce Democrats to Enlarge Committee Memberships. By International News Service. WASHINGTON", March S. The split in tho ranks of progressive Democrats was emphasized today during the fur ther session of tho senate party caucus. Senator Bacon, tho defoatcd candidate for president pro tempore, in private conversation, accused several senators whom!! had believed to bo his friends of conspiracy and intimated that his defeat was the result of downright treachcry. This only added to the friction. Tho close personal associates of Bacon aro in ugly mood and- each day the wedge that is driving "the par ty apart sinks a trifle deeper. At today's session of the caucus James M. Baker of South Carolina was nominated for secretary of the senate. On the first ballot ho received- twenty throe votes and on tho second tho cau cus broke to him and his nomination followed by acclamation. Brother Joseph Beaten. Joseph Tl. Wilson, brother of the president, received nine votes, lind Robert M. Gates, a Tennessee newspa per man, Tcccived the same number. John M- Keller of New York, Senator O'Gorman's candidate, got two votes, as did former Senator Obadiah Gard ner of Maine, backed by Senator Gore. Scattering votes of one each were cast for three other candidates. Thomas W. Koller of West Virginia, who, like, Baker, has been an attache of tho sen ate for inany years, was chosen for os- j sistant doorkeeper of the senate. The complete list of clectivo offices agreed upon aro: President pro tempore, Senator James P. Clarko of Arkansas; secre-' tary, James M. Baker of South Caro-; Una; sergcant-at-arms, Charles P. Hig gins of Missouri; chaplain, Rev. F. J. PrettiTfian of Marian d; assistant doorkeeper, Thomas W. Kcllor of West Virginia. The steering committee was unable to complete its work of assigning mem bers to the committees. No other sub ject than tho elective officers was dis cussed, tho caucus adjourning to meet at the call of the chairman. Republicans Figuring. The Republican steoring committee has urged the Democratic -leaders to ngTce to an enlargement of the num bers of tho foreign relations and finance committees. The minority rep resentation on theso two committees now is six. If the Democrats do not enlarge them, Senator LaFolIotte must get off the fiuanco committee, as ho stnnas at tho bottom of the list. Tho Republicans are anxious to keep this progressive cn the committee for the sake of peace and harmony. There are eight Republicans on tho foreign relations committee If thero is no change in the total minority mem bership Senators Burton and Dilling ham, who uto at the bottom, must bo dropped. Both sonutors are most anx ious to retain their standing on this committee. No word has boon received from tho Democratic leaders and until their conclusion is reached the Repub lican steoring committee cannot assign its members. A Republican caucus is to be held Monday.

WILSON FINDS HIS II EASY AS PRESIDENT Everything Goes Smoothly for First Four Days, Ow ing; to the Attention of Trained Assistants. TUMULTY ALREADY GENERAL FAVORITE Change in Administration Is Noticeable by Frequency of tfie Visits of Bryan to'' White House. WASHINGTON, March S Presi dent Wilson divided his time today between discussion of prospective appointments with members of his cablnot and legislative policios with members of congress. Ho cleared his dcsl: for the day at 4 p. m. nnd took a long automobile ride with Mrs. Wilson, coming back to tho White houso at dinner time, his face aglow with the flush of wintry air. Tonight the president sought recreation at the theater, where ho occupied a box. Four days' work in, tho Whito house havo moved by as smoothly as if its occupant had been thero for years. Though tho president has had a long list of engagements -bvcry clay, the work has been far from exhausting. The press of details, which held Mr. Wilson in its grip, while ho was governor of New Jersey and preparing at tho same time for tho presidency, now is relieved by an offico of well-trained assistants and tho transfer to his cabinet mem bers of tho chief burdens of sifting process wjth respect to appointments. JSase. and Speed. The president listens patiently to his visitors, dispatches his business quick ly, takes a spin in the outdoor air, reads his day's Tnail and settles himself to an evening in tbe Whito house-'br at the theater with a satisfactioa that he is making speedy progress into his uew tasks. Tho double stream of state af fairs and national influences with which he was flooded at Trenton has given way to a quiet, easy running system hero. Ho hns been able to tako hold of his now responsibilities with an equan imity which he has not enjoyed for sev eral months. In his spacious offico have come nu merous callers. Those who have called on him both hero and at Trenton say he is as non-committal as over about promising appointments to those who come to mako recommendations and as quick and to tho point as he always has bcou in discuusi'ng general policies. Tumulty a Favorite. Tn tho offico adjacent flits Secretary Joseph P. Tumulty, already a favorite with the squad of newspapor corre spondents, to whom he has promised to be acccssiblo at all hours of the day or night. Mr. Tumult3' met half a hundred correspondents today and said tho pol icy of tho administration would be one of frankness and candor. Upon Mr. Tumulty has fallon the burdou of moot ing most of the president's callers. Tacenes politically unusual have given official Washington no end of gossip for the weok-end. William Jennings Bryan and Josephus Daniols, tho now secretary of Btatc and navy, respec tively, each a long-time worker 'for De mocracy, como and go in tho White houso with a frequency that symbolizes tho chango in administration. Jubi lant Democrats who flood the White houso to gazo in curiosity on tho spec- j taclo of Democratic power go away in spired with satisfaction at sight of tho fruits of their victory. Real Work Next Week. Thus far tho now administration has dono little besides getting physically orgauized. Next week,' it iu expected tho members o tho cabinot will bogin with tho president to formulate the new policies of the Wilson regime. The president, too, will begin work then on his special message. Though tho pres ident has not finally made up his mind whal; ho will Tecommond, his present intention is to dovote his message ex clusively to the tariff, pointing out currency reform as tho next legisla tive goal. The president now has had an op portunity to got into intimato touch with his cabinot advisors, fiomo of whom he never had met before inaugu ration day. lie had heard by reputa tion about all those men, but ho had never mot Attorney Gonoral Mclioy nolds or Secretary Lane of the intorior department.

OF VIGE QUESTION i Inquiry of Illinois Commis sion Results in Promise of Employers to Learn of Girls' Circumstances. EDWARD HILLMAN IS CHIEF WITNESS Admits That Low Wages Have Something to Do With First Downward Step Taken. CHICAGO, March 8. As a result of tho sessions of tho stato sen ate vice commission, which has been hearing employers of fe male labor, with a view to learning whether wages have any bearing upon social evil conditions, two of the largest merchants in tho city employ ing thousands of women today took steps to enter into tho very homos of employees to learn if th'e home condi tions wero such as might augment tho temptations surrounding working girls. The two merchants are Edward Hill man and E. R Mandcl, and they as sorted that in order to mako certain that no employee of theirs can ever justly claim that the downward path was takon because they were not paid a living wage, individual cases will bo studied and compensation paid in ac cordance with tho individual needs. Inquiry Like Revival. "It was like going to an old-fashioned revival,'? was the way Mr. Hill man put it, referring, to- the meeting with tho vice committee; "a busy man gots careless sombtimes. He ia busy making money, I always thought wo did pvorything under the sun for our people, but tho revival, you call it, gave me somo ideas of responsibility I never dreamed 'of boforo. I wouldn't have missed it for a thousand dol lars." Ilillman .vns tho first witness of tho' day. His saleswomen, ho said, roceivo an average of $8.17 a week, although' thero aro some errand girls who ro ceivo as low as$3. ,fDo you think that a woman would sell her virtue beforo she would starve?" asked Lieutenant, Governor Barratt O'Hara, chairman of tho com mission. "Yes, I do," came the prompt an swer, the first of the kind from em ployers thus far heard. "Thank you," said O'Hara, appar ently surprised at the admission. Store Employs 817 Girls. Hillma'n said that 817 girls and wo men are employed at his store. Of these, forty-six girls receive $5; twenty-four got twenty-thrco earn $3,f50, and six rocoivo 3. These last aro er rand girls, mostly brought in by thoir parents who want them to learn tho business so thoy may advance to highur salaries, ho said. "If one of your $3 girls lost her vir tue would it hurt your conscience?" asked O'Hara. "Yes; certainly." "Would you hold yourself responsi ble?" " Well,... now, let's think; would 11 Here's a girl brought in by her par ents, living at home should I bo re sponsible? L think not, I think the parents would be responsible." Ilillman spoke distinctly, to tho great relief of the spectators, half of them women, who were unable to hoar most of the testimony yosterday. Tho witness said ho never had heard of a girl boing blacklisted for bad conduct, but did know of a floorwalker who had suffered that fate for immorality. Witness Self Made Man. Hillmaji admitted that he was a self mado man. Ho started at work at $2 a week as a cash boy. "Could you livu on it?" inquired the chairman of tho commission. "Well, my father earned $M and my $2 helped out. I walked to and from work." Readiness of tho big merchant to agree with tho commission surprised and delighted tho legislators. For in stance, jO'Hara askod if it had ever oc curred to him to investigate applica tions for positions to nsccrtniu if tho applicant would live on the salary in prospect. It had never occurred to him but, said he, "it's a good idoa." "Mr. .Uillmau, will you promise Una eommittoo to hire such an investi gator?" .

' i7piSs 1 Senate Measure Introduced H Exceeds State Revenue by Estimate of More Than CALLS FOR MONEYS H FOR STATE PURPOSES Wt Make No Provisions for Fairs f B at San Francisco or San hH Diego; Possible That H Knife Will Be Used. fl Tk T EARLY $3,000,000 aro appropri- Ijl I ated from the general fund ot tho stato by the general appro priation bill which was intro duced in the senate yesterday by the committee ou appropriations and claims. lJ The bill provides for appropriations f IH about $700,000 in excess of the esti- J JH mated revenue for the ensuing two years, based on a 4-mill levy for gen- IH oral stato purposes, '1 The bill calls for a total appropria tion of $2,SG2,530.28. The revenues for the ensuing two years, according to tho ostimates prepared by the state arli tor, available for general state 'fr poses will total $2,101,157.12. lliis ( leaves the bill $701,373.1G in excess of tho estimated revenuo of the stato. cH Slicing Is Possible. However, there is a possibility of tho ih'l bill being scaled down to soinc extent PH beforo it passes both houses and thero fll is a probability that tho revenues of tho state will oxeced tho auditor's cs tiniato, Tho estimate was based on a tax of 4 mills. Under the constitution tho state has tbe right to levy a 4Va mill tax for general stato purposes, though last year this tax was 4 mills. H If tho levy is 4 mills tho estimated revenuo of tho stato will be at onco .M increased by approximately $210,000. ( Tho auditor in his statement ostimated '. tho total amount to bo received from the operation of tho inheritanco tax law Ln tho next two years. Members of the appropriation committee are inclined o think that the amount received will jJ be more than that estimated conscrv ativcly in the report of thu auditor. Some surprise was evidenced by the fact that the appropriations bill fails to carry any appropriation for tho ex hibit of the resources of tbe state at jH the Panama-Pacific exposition at San Francisco and tho Panama-California exposition in San Diego in 1915. It is JH probablo that the bill will be amended to include appropriations for oxhibits for both expositions. Hl To Compensate Veterans. Tho appropriations committee had tentatively decided to appropriate $50, 000 as compensation for the Indian war veterans and this item will be included . in the bill as printed. State institutions fared 'better than jH was expected by somo who feared that the financial stringency of the stato would not permit the granting of many largo school appropriations.
